The Legend of Princess Liyong

This is something I put together with my neighbors daughter Liyong and my wife and my adopted niece.
I really wanted to see how the latest greenscreen to Unreal Engines workflow has progressed with the updated UE 5.1. I filmed her on green screen using my iPad Pro and then keyed it out using Keylight in After Effects. Exported her as a EXR image sequence with a transparent background.
I then found a nice Asian environment on the Unreal Engine marketplace. Along with some Megascans and the free Paragon characters I put together the areas I wanted to use for my shots. With the new UE 5.1 release it is so simple to bring in the keyed EXR image sequence to use in the sequencer. I then went back to the marketplace and found some Niagara particle systems and started to put some shots together. I used the post processing volume to dial in my final look using a number of options along with a color LUT for a cinematic look. Once I got all of my shots setup with camera animations, I used the UE5 render queue to put out my final image sequences.
I put everything back together with compositing using After Effects. I added some extra tweaks to the color correction, film grain, extra lens flares, vignette, and audio. I absolutely could have worked on the audio more but I need to get myself a better sound FX library.
